Abstract

The removal of chromium ions Cr(lll) from aqueous solutions using S cerevisiae was studied. The influence of some factors
affecting biosorption activity such as temperature, pH, weight of dried cells, concentration of Cr(III), time contact between
biomass and metal and shaking were examined. Maximum uptake level of Cr (TIl) ions was attained by using 350 mg biomass
and 100ug Cr(lll), in 0.2M phosphate buffer (pH 8.0), 25°C, shaking at 200 pm.
